The National Trial Competition was established in 1975 to encourage and strengthen students’ advocacy skills through quality competition and valuable interaction with members of the bench and bar. The program is co-sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers and is designed to expose law students to the nature of trial practice and to serve as a supplement to their education. It is the Texas Young Lawyers Association’s intent to provide a meaningful contribution to the development of future trial lawyers.

This year, the College will host 10 schools as they compete at the regional level, aiming to make it to the national tournament.
